Much Love, Christina

Back in 1990, motivated by my own suffering and an internal vision of what could be, I founded the TLC Foundation for BFRBs (TLC). My goal was to create a national organization capable of giving voice to, and establish a respected scientific presence for, this area of human suffering. During my time at TLC's helm, we validated the need for rigorous scientific research, identified the significance of public health impact, and among other projects, developed various outreach and training programs to serve sufferers and professionals alike. By the time I left, we had provided information and resources to over 1 million people. Today? It must be a much larger number! For general BFRB information and great links, please visit TLC atwww.bfrb.org.

At the beginning of 2013, I left TLC to begin work on filling what I saw as an unsatisfactory gap in BFRB-related resources; the lack of an educational platform, or school of some kind, that could provide on-going courses capable of transforming lives. Too many people are still suffering daily, when we DO have practical, useful knowledge that can help! Thus I founded the Heart & Soul Academy for BFRB Living Skills. For more information on what the Academy is all about, and the BFRB- related courses it provides, including my own classes on Mindfulness Based Impulse Recovery, please visit the websitewww.hasacademy.org.
